Package with electron command line switches

See original GitHub issue

EG: Electron supports passing flags to the JS-engine like:

$ electron --js-flags="--harmony_proxies --harmony_collections" your-app https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/api/chrome-command-line-switches.md

Can I package my app so that when executed (EG: .exe) it runs with the flags?

This seems critical, b/c there is no other way to set -js-flags other than passing them to electron executable.

I found this while searching for “harmony” in the Electron repo: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/10400

Although at this point, I’m curious what you’d need from the --harmony flag when Electron 2.0 uses Node 8.9.x.
